An excellent album

Advantages: good songs
Disadvantages: just one cd, I wishe there were two or three

...It is Barbara Streisand`s second live album and it was recorded long ago in 1972. If you own her first live album you will be able to make the difference between the two. It shows how much her music has grown and diversified. Although she hasn`t played at concerts for nearly 5 years Barbara Streisand has often played in Casino`s in Las Vegas. There is very funny monologue where she pretends to be smoking marijuana. Two interesting facts- 1. This ...

TO BARBRA

Advantages: Voice like a human that cares.
Disadvantages: Some people don;t like her.

You may love her, you may hate her, you may think her work slushy and sentimental, although even those who do not particularly like Barbra Streisand cannot deny that the woman has a voice, and a wonderfully powerful tool as such. The range of her voice is astounding. I am a musician myself and she always amazes me by the number of octaves that her voice can cover. Over the years, I have had many LPs by Barbra Streisand (Yes, I did say that right), ...
...somehow lost copies in the midst of moving and when I saw this album of Barbra Streisand, I was impressed because really it covers all the albums I had lost in one collection. This is a double CD and the listings are impressive. Disc 1 1. A Sleepin' Bee2.Cry Me A River3. I Stayed Too Long At The Fair4. Lover, Come Back To Me5. People6. My Man7. Second Hand Rose8.

Pleasures

Advantages: The voice, the songs, the ecstasy
Disadvantages: The lack of respect

...perfectly ordinary songs. But Guilty is different. Guilty is serendipitous. Guilty is the most exquisite cocktail. Guilty is when you mix two things that you know aren’t good for you and the sum is greater than all the other parts in the world. Guilty is where Streisand sings Gibb. In my last review comments were left that revealed an unhealthy animosity towards Ms Streisand. I can only imagine what level of apoplexy a review containing Streisand, ...
...We’ve got nothing to be guilty of.” I know there are still some naysayers out there turning their musical noses up at the thought, but I am here to tell you there is nothing sexier than a man singing falsetto except that same man harmonizing with an angel. Guilty fades out and before you have a chance to catch your breath you are flung into one of the more memorable synthesizer intros of the 80s. Woman in Love has nothing to do with D. H. Lawrence ...

Pop-Stars? More like Flop-Stars!

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Watered Down, Teenage, Stupid

I'm not giving Metro Station a bad review just because Trace Cyrus is Miley Cyrus's brother. The reason I am giving them a bad review is because the album they produced is just awful. It shouldn't even be called music. It is watered-down pop punk that doesn't really deserve much recognition. The lyrics are unimaginative and and are just cheesy to the point of being unbearably annoying. Unfortunatly, songs such as "Shake It" have wormed their way ...

Arkansas rockers produce immense album

Advantages: Original, Tuneful, Powerful
Disadvantages: Depressing

Evanescence are one of the bands in an obscure section of rock that action get media attention. This is unusual. The thing that definitely stood out to me on the album was Amy Lee's (vocalist) ability to use classic instruments to boost the originality. I will review this album, track-by-track. **Going Under** This song is one of the heavier tracks of the album. The tempo of this track is generally slow but it is still good. Lee's vocals in this ...
...at the same time. **Bring me to Life** This song is the one that launched Evanescence into the limelight. It was a #1 in Britain for four weeks which surprised a lot of people because of their genre. This chart postition was definitely well deserved as it is a powerful song. Lee's vocals are assisted by Paul Mccoy as an extra in the chorus. **Everybody's Fool** This song has a more mainstream feel to it than other songs on this album. The intro ...
